We the behikes and behikes-in-training of the Caney Circle celebrated the FULL MOON CEREMONY across the American continent this past month of January rendering tribute to our fertile mother Atabey and honoring her lunar cycle of fecundity. These ceremonies coincided with the manifestation of the supermoon, blood moon and blue moon of January 2018.

In Squamish, British Columbia, Canada our behike-in-training Jaime Rosario constructed his altar with its sacred medicine wheel and celebrated the ceremony in his own home accompanied by a local friend. This spiritual guide is a member of the UNITED CONFEDERATION OF TAINO PEOPLE.

In the city of Lancster, Pennsylvania our behike CACIKE GUATU IRI guided the ceremony with the assistance of behike-in-training Jose Nicoari' Torres and with the participation of the community of Yukayeke Manicato in that town.

In the City of Orlando, Florida our recently initiated and confirmed behike Joey Karei Kumaha'Manigua served as guide of the fFULL MOON ceremony, accompanied by members of the Taino community in that city.

In the city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania I was granted the honor of guiding the ceremony at the site of the ONE WORLD LOVE NATURAL NATIVE RESERVE, accompanied by the behike-in-training, our Taino sister Dee and by the initiated behikes Tenanche CemiAta Rose Golden and Karmen Chavez Mogdam. Other members of the Pittsburgh community participated in the ceremony.

My sister This was such a wonderful crop of ceremonial activities this month. I am so happy that so many of our behikes and trainees were able to celebrate in their individual regions and report back with such awesome images. I look forward to an equally rich bounty of ceremonies next month including our new trainees, Eddie in Miami and Kachina in Cleveland.
